The objective of the European Scientific foundation for Laboratory Hemato Oncology (ESLHO) is to promote innovation, standardization, quality control and education of laboratory diagnostics focused on lymphoid malignancies.

This objective is realized by:

• Supporting the organization of scientific meetings for the innovation/research, standardization and clinical validation of new tools, technologies and strategies for diagnosis of hematological malignancies and immune monitoring;
• Organizing educational sessions and symposia;
• Promoting the use of standardized protocols;
• Supporting the organization of quality control rounds for which a certificate of participation and performance is provided.

ESLHO supports three scientific consortia that implement these activities: EuroClonality (www.EuroClonality.org), EuroFlow (www.EuroFlow.org), and EuroMRD (www.EuroMRD.org).

Currently, ESLHO resides in Leiden. ESLHO is planning to move to Zutphen in October 2022.
